Quantum Mpemba Effect in Random Circuits

Author(s): Xhek Turkeshi, Pasquale Calabrese, and Andrea De Luca The essence of the Mpemba effect is that nonequilibrium systems may relax faster the further they are from their equilibrium configuration. In the quantum realm, this phenomenon arises in closed systems dynamics and is witnessed by features of symmetry and entanglement. Here, we study the quantum Mp… [Phys. Rev.
